ACCOUNTANT FACING CHARGES FOLLOWING ASSAULT
Sleuths assigned to the Kingston West Policing Division have charged 30-year-old, Chilubo Barrett, an accountant of Waterloo Avenue, Kingston 10 with Possession of a Prohibited Weapon, Making use of a Firearm to Commit a Felony, and Assault at Common Law following an incident at Fifth Street, Kingston 12 on Sunday, September 14.
Reports from the police are that at about 12:30 p.m., Barrett and a woman got into an argument, during which he drew a piece of board and hit her.

Shortly after, Barrett walked to his motor car and returned with a gun in his hand, which he charged and pointed at the woman, causing her to feel fearful. He then fled the scene.
A report was made to the police, and Barrett was subsequently taken into custody. He was later charged on Saturday, November 22, after a question-and-answer session in the presence of his attorney.
His court date is being finalised.
